There wasn't. Just saying how nuts it is the amount of travelling Games Makers will be doing.
you will be going from A to C, I will be going from D to B... it would make more sense for you to go A to B and me to go D to C, but obviously LOCOG doesn't really care about the extra traffic that thousands of hours of travel by Games Makers will put onto the underground each day!

Ah, well then I apologise! Need to be swotting up on my London geography I think!
Being fair to LOCOG, they have no idea I was planning on staying in Epsom, since I actually live in Yorkshire (and Preston)...at least they've given shifts out this early so that people can get accommodation arranged though I guess!

I am C3 Team at Wimbledon. What role are you in. I don't have any particularly long shifts, early starts or late finishes though. WImbledon is quite civilised operating hours, I feel.

When's your RST? I have no idea what I will actually be doing as "VCC team member" yet...

[12win12]

sighs im still counting down... they have 3 days left to get back to me about shift times!!!

[Divingbrit]

[12win12]

Hey Sara94,
What should I except in the telephone interview for the last mile team member role. what sort of questions do they ask? and what is the hourly pay rate? Thanks

You get paid weekly 403 pounds, assuming you've already had the interview, how did it go?

[UberAyo]

Anyone doing the Last Mile Team Member job? How long does it take for them to get back to you after your assessment day?

[Sara94]

It depends, some people get it after two days and some two weeks, I got a phone call after a week.
